Potential Images (okładka  miękka)

Ambiguous images play upon the act of visual perception, requiring an interpretation from viewers that involves their memory and imagination. "Potential Images" is the first systematic exploration of ambiguity in modern art, and considers those works of art that rely on an imaginative response from the viewer to achieve their full effect. Dario Gamboni examines how artists such as Redon, Gauguin, Cizanne and James Ensor sought to involve the beholder and reshape artistic communication. Kandinsky, for example, intended that his work could be interpreted in both figurative and nonfigurative ways, while Duchamp concluded that "it is the beholder who makes the picture."
